PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Adrenal incidentalomas are common in this era of ubiquitous imaging. There is a lack of consensus on the mode and extent of evaluation, and follow-up of adrenal incidentalomas. RECENT FINDINGS: There is increasing evidence of morbidity associated with subclinical hormone excess from functioning adrenal masses. Improved radiological techniques and interpretation have helped identify lipid-rich adenomas more accurately and tailor the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas. SUMMARY: A practical outline in the investigation and follow-up of adrenal incidentalomas incorporating the recent evidence is presented.
